You're playing a video for which you haven't got the proper
video-codec installed. You could fix it by installing a codec-package.
There is a few around of them. I use KLite, which I am happy about,
but other people might have different preferences.

You are quite right, Jud.
Luckily, there are many options to choose from right now.
Ffdshow (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm) is a nice codec
package offering both x86 and x64 versions.
Both of them must be installed in x64 OSs simultaneously.
ffdshow x86 provides codecs for 32-bit players (in a 64-bit OS) and ffdshow
x64 provides codecs for 64-bit players like WMP, the one under \Program Files
folder.
